British International School of Tunis

The school is committed to nurturing confident, curious, and capable learners through a philosophy of inclusivity and global citizenship. It operates under the motto "Work Hard, Dream Big," emphasizing the belief that every child can perform highly with personalised support and the right opportunities. The school aims to equip pupils with the skills, values, and mindset necessary to lead in a changing world.

The school offers a seamless educational journey from the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) through to Sixth Form. The primary curriculum focuses on core subjects like Mathematics, Science, and Humanities, delivered through project-based learning and thematic inquiry. The secondary curriculum includes Key Stage 3, IGCSE, and A Levels, with BTEC options available for applied, career-focused learning.

As an authorised Cambridge International Exam Centre, the school prepares pupils for IGCSE, AS, and A Level qualifications. The curriculum is designed to facilitate entry into top universities worldwide. The school is accredited by the British Schools Overseas (BSO), the Council of British International Schools (COBIS), and the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI), ensuring its standards align with British educational requirements.

The school provides personalised learning support, including English as an Additional Language (EAL) programmes. It offers SEND support with individualised learning plans and uses CAT4-based tracking to provide academic guidance tailored to each pupil's needs. Pastoral care is integrated into the school experience to ensure pupil wellbeing and development.

The school maintains a transparent and responsive admissions process, beginning with an initial inquiry and moving through to onboarding. Prospective families are encouraged to schedule a tour or meeting at either the Primary or Secondary campus. The admissions team provides an orientation pack, a buddy system, and parent induction to support new families joining the community.

The academic year is structured into terms with scheduled breaks, including half-term breaks in October and February, and a term break in December. The school year concludes in late June. The calendar also accounts for national holidays and the observance of the holy month of Ramadan.

The school operates across two purpose-built campuses in Tunis: a Primary School located at 49 Rue du Parc and a Secondary School at 42 rue Socrates, Kram. Facilities include smart classrooms with flexible learning zones, performing arts spaces with music rooms and a theatre stage, and an outdoor swimming pool. The campus environment is designed to support innovation and creativity, with dedicated areas for primary science and outdoor learning, such as Forest and Beach School spaces.

Pupils participate in a variety of enrichment activities, including Model United Nations (MUN), sports teams, and international competitions. The school offers opportunities for gifted and talented students, passion projects, entrepreneurship, and life skills programmes. Recent international experiences include football tournaments in Barcelona, and pupils are also involved in events such as the Tunisia International Forum of Climate Change.
